After confirming fitment of the fan, I ordered the largest universal parallel-flow condenser that would fit (16X22" from Nostalgic AC) and secured it with zip ties.


I then started designing mounting brackets using cardboard patterns.


Once I was happy with the patterns, I cut brackets out of sheet metal using a rotary tool with a cutoff disc, and then bent them into shape.


I installed rubber grommets that were the same size as the originals, but the Ace Hardware ones have already dry-rotted, so I want to find the part number for them so I can get some from Mercedes.


I used the original mounting holes on the body.
